Bad Dudes was fun. Whatever happened to Data East?

Bad Dudes! Such an 80s title and vibe.


Edit: Oh Shit Two Cude! I went to an underground rave once that had this cabinet I had never seen it before.

Heavy barrel was amazing in the arcade, I wonder if that version is any good.

Super BurgerTime is one of the best arcade games ever. More people need to play it.

Bad Dudes was fun. Whatever happened to Data East?

Went tits up back in 2003, its properties have been distributed left and right.
They used to be one of the big boys back in the days along with Konami and Capcom.

I wish these guys were still around they really made some of the best arcade games of all time.

Bad Dudes was fucking awesome and had a fantastic port on C=64. Joe & Mac is also an excellent platformer.

Data East really had some very talented people.
